Necropolis 2350 - The Long Sleep

Deep in the Desert Something is stirring!

An overdue routine communication from an archaeological team operating deep in the Ruber Desert requires investigation, and the Knights are given the task. What might have been a technical fault caused by recent solar storm activity turns out to be something far worse.

The archaeologists have made a discovery, perhaps the greatest discovery in human history. But what they found wasn’t dead—it was only resting, waiting for the sign to reawaken.

Now, as a powerful storm sweeps over the archaeologists’ base camp, the heroes are about to encounter something not seen in the universe for millions of years. There is no hope for rescue. There is only victory or death against a foe far more deadly than the Rephaim.

The Long Sleep is the first of a new series of Necropolis 2350 adventures from Triple Ace Games.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
